"Naval action off the southern coast of Britain as Saxon fleets put to sea!"
 
"Arguments over cod fishing quotas begin 1100 years earlier than commonly supposed - Picts and Scots stake rival claims!"
 
"Viking hoards massing to the east - all of northern Europe shakes with fear! (Except for the Vikings of course, they shake with delerium tremens after the last few centuries fun and games!)"
